pick(1999) Space station Jocasta is in a system under siege, though the besieging aliens are not clear about what they want. Just as Jocasta's commander devises a plan to sneak a drone out of the system, another ship sneaks *in*: an ancient 21st-century corpsicle ship that really shouldn't be there at all. And from there things get really weird, with murders, monsters, and interspecies politics. Good fun for the crowd that liked Babylon 5 or DS9.
Two books I bought today judged solely by their covers.
The Alien Way has a cover by my favourite sci fi artist, Bruce Pennington, so the contents are secondary, but for what it's worth, it's an alien invasion story which sounds like it could be pretty good.
A Book of the Sea beguiled me with that sailing ship, but the contents are not short stories, which I'd assumed, but extracts from longer works, which I tend not to like, but 🤷♂️

pickMy #BookSpin for September was a lot of fun. I could see it being made into a movie. I loved the Star Trek jokes/references. It was a great last book of #SciFiSummer for me (even though the reading challenge doesn't end until the 21st) and a great light-hearted start to #RIPXIX (even though I've already got a fair number of short stories under my belt for that reading challenge).
pickBook #2 in the Glass Library series. Sylvia is so similar to India… they‘ll have to meet at some point in the series and that will be interesting. This tale brought in a lot of characters…I‘m curious if many will show up again.
